L'endroit est cozy, mais le service laisse vraiment à désirer. J'ai commandé un matcha en précisant que je voulais seulement un cube de glaçon & on m'a servi un verre rempli de glaçons. Quand je l'ai mentionné, le barista m'a répondu qu'il avait compris une scoop de glaçons qu'il pouvait en enlever, mais qu'il ne referait pas la boisson parce qu'ils doivent respecter des portions de lait, etc.

On a aussi commandé le poulet curry : la sauce était bonne, mais le poulet était quand même très gras.

Osmo is definitely a different spot in Montreal & worth trying at least once. I had never seen a coffee shop with Japanese food like this, so the concept alone made it a fun experience.

I really loved the salmon cucumber sandwich, & the miso soup was also very good. Next time I want to try their famous tamago sando. The ambiance is unique & the place feels lively, but it was quite loud & very busy around midday.

The only thing that disappointed me a bit was the drink. I ordered an iced caramel matcha coconut latte with extra sweetener, but I honestly didn't taste much flavor & it didn't taste sweet either. The matcha was just okay for me.

Also good to know: the entrance is a bit hidden, & you can enter from Clark Street.

Overall, it was a nice & different experience, especially for the food & ambient.

This place is literally perfect - amazing drinks, delicious bites, incredible atmosphere. Went here twice during a very short stay in Montreal cause it was that good. My favs were the karaage sando with the curry sauce. You don't need it cause the sandwich on its own is delicious & filling but I liked it with the sauce too. Matcha quality is really good & I loved the house made white rabbit syrup with it - wasn't too sweet but added a great milky ricey flavour to it.

Cool decor & music. The matcha with chocolate is delicious & makes you want to come back for more. The salmon sandwich is another delight. Once I came with my laptop to work but the place is too loud & there is much food smell like eggs & garlic so it's not really a place for that.

I don't love when it's super busy but it's the best either in the summer or when they host bar events. Great drinks & even better food

superrr overrated. i thought there would be more plants, & better lighting.
it's like a manufacturing plant that looks unfinished. metallic finishes everywhere & every single seating is SUPER stiff & uncomfortable. where is the aesthetic? not cozy at all, nor futuristic/modern if that's what they were aiming for. food is mehhh, pastries aren't that fresh neither. coffee is good.

honestly it would have been a much better atmosphere if it was a bar or an actual disco club. wouldn't go there to catch up with friends or study/work.
